I HAVE USED TURBOTAX SINCE 2001 AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL
NOW. EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO OPEN, I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

RUNNING MY 2004 PROGRAM ON ANOTHER COMPUTER WITH NO PROBLEMS
WHATSOEVER. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT MUST BE A WINDONS XP PROBLEM.
ANY HELP, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, ETC. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
How come everything but the error message is in all caps?
Wow - that hurts.
Have you contacted Intuit?
Have you checked the Intuit web page for FAQs or Updates?
Have you uninstalled/reinstalled the application?
Was it working on Windows XP before?
Why does it "appear to you to be a Windows XP problem"?

applications from their manufacturer's web pages?

When was the last time you checked for Spyware/Adware/Malware on your

What about Viruses/Trojans/Worms?
When was the last time you went into Control Panels --> Add/Remove Programs
and checked to make sure only what you wanted/needed was installed and that
you had the installation media and serial numbers/CD Keys for each of those
applications?
